+ +Error message "Summary and folder mismatch" after synchronizing folders + +

If the error message: Error while Expunging folder. Error storing `~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/Inbox (mbox)': Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync. pops up, perform the following steps:

+ +

These steps apply to the versions 3.0 and 3.2. Note that Evolution's file locations in 2.30 and 2.32 are different (~/.evolution/mail/local/ instead of ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/).

+ + +

Open the Terminal application (category System Tools) and type in the command evolution --force-shutdown. This command stops Evolution and all the processes related to it.

+

Remove the files ending in:

+ +

.ev-summary

+

.ibex.index

+
+

To do this, navigate to the hidden directory ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/ and locate the specified files. You can do this in the GNOME File Manager (Nautilus) by either showing hidden files, or by entering the directory via GoLocation... from the menu bar.

+
+ +

Restart Evolution. Note that restarting the application may take some time since it will need to rebuild the indexes deleted in the previous step.

+
+ + +

You may lose your mail labels when performing this operation.

+
+ + +

This problem is expected to be fixed in version 3.0 according to the corresponding bug report. Please add a comment if this is not the case.
